Daniel O’Donnell has warned fans that there is someone impersonating him on WhatsApp, trying to scam people for their money.

The Irish singer’s fan club magazine released a statement to warn his followers about the scam.

The mag stated: “There is currently a person on WhatsApp using an image of Daniel and his name ‘Daniel O’Donnell’, who is looking for a donation online for seemingly charitable purposes.”

“Please be aware that this is not Daniel, as Daniel never messages his fans on WhatsApp, and as this person is using Daniel’s image to try and get money from unsuspecting followers, this is regarded as fraud.”

“Anyone who gets a message from this ‘rogue Daniel’ needs to report it immediately through WhatsApp – as there is an option to do so – to block this person.”

The 56-year-old has fallen victim to hackers and impersonators before, when last year a fake Facebook account was made in his name.

The warning statement also set the record straight about Daniel’s social media usage, as they stated, “Please also be aware that Daniel never goes on Messenger via Facebook, so if you see anything up there which looks like it has come or is coming from Daniel, it’s not.”
